Well Dressed Home No. 7 - Movie Set Style

Here's "a little ditty about Jack and Diane.." (pun intended but not to John Mellencamp). Some people watch a movie multiple times because they love the story. I do that too, but I must admit I sometimes have to watch it multiple times because I've paid too much attention to the movie set and missed the story or need to revisit the set design again and sometimes again.

I'm guilty as charged every time I watch Something's Gotta Give starring Diane Keaton and Jack Nicholson. (This is the "ditty" in case you missed the connection.) An Architectural Digest article states that Director Nancy Meyers asked set decorator Beth Rubino to create a substantial Hamptons house for Diane Keaton's character. Ah, I'd say mission accomplished!

So put on the comfys, grab a bottle of wine, a block of cheese, crackers, fresh fruit and watch it all over again. You'll see what I mean.

About Me

Welcome to my blog. I love rethinking the look of things. Bringing a little more story and personality into our homes. Loving the way we live. If it tickles your fancy, brings a flutter to your heart, or makes you feel like you just won the "finders-keepers" game of life then give it a place of honor in your home. I invite you to enjoy my musings of these very things here in my blog.
